The house was reputed to be haunted as the previous occupants had reported hearing strange noises at night. This proved to be a fertile environment for two of the family's three daughters, Margaretta and Catherine Fox, who convinced their older sister, Leah, and many others, that a spirit they called Mr. Splitfoot enabled them to communicate with the dead. The sisters were successful mediums for many years, were fêted by the rich and famous and visited Europe, but were eventually unmasked as frauds. Or were they? These fascinating events are the basis for Matt Bialer's new epic poem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatt Bialer is the author of many books of poetry including \u003cem\u003eRadius\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWing of Light\u003c\/em\u003e (Les Editions du Zaporogue), \u003cem\u003eAlready Here\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eArk\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBlack Powder\u003c\/em\u003e, (Black Coffee Press), \u003cem\u003eBridge\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFrequencies \u003c\/em\u003eand\u003cem\u003e The Valley of the Eight\u003c\/em\u003e (Leaky Boot Press), \u003cem\u003eTell Them What I Saw\u003c\/em\u003e (PS Publishing), \u003cem\u003eHe Walks On All Fours\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eKings of Men\u003c\/em\u003e (Dynatox Ministries), \u003cem\u003eFormation\u003c\/em\u003e (Weirdo Magnet) and \u003cem\u003eAscent\u003c\/em\u003e (Bizarro Pulp Press).
